Chesterfield to win promotion from the English League Two has shortened to 5/4 with Bet Victor, in from 7/4, as 13 of 21 bookmakers cut their odds.
The odds on Chesterfield to win promotion from the English League Two have been slashed from 7/4 to 5/4 with Bet365, and after the way they dismantled Crewe, it is hard to argue with the bookmakers.
Chesterfield have shortened to a best price of 5/4 with Bet365, in from 7/4, with 13 of 21 bookmakers cutting their odds.
Chesterfield were 5-0 up at the break against Crewe on 24 October, a club record for a half-time lead in Opta records.
Salford City Fc remain the favourites at 2/7 with Coral, with Chesterfield fourth-shortest of the leading contenders.
Liam Mandeville was man of the match against Crewe and scored the fifth goal of a ruthless first half.
The catalyst is simple: Chesterfield took third-placed Crewe apart at the SMH Group Stadium, winning 5-1. Josh Koroma, Tom Naylor, Fraser Bryden and Liam Mandeville all scored before half-time, with a Josh Stephenson own goal adding to the damage, and Crewe only pulled one back once the contest was long gone. That is not a scrappy home win against a side in the bottom half of the log. It is a statement against a direct promotion rival, and Crewe's own manager admitted afterwards that he got his game plan drastically wrong, calling Chesterfield the best side Crewe had faced in League Two this season.
The bigger story for the market is that the attack is finally converting. Assistant manager Danny Webb said the squad must keep their feet on the ground, but pointed out that the avalanche of goals had been coming after they previously created chances without putting games away. That Crewe result stretched Chesterfield's unbeaten home run in all competitions to eight matches. A home side that is hard to beat and has now found its cutting edge in front of goal is exactly why bookmakers have been cutting the odds on Chesterfield.
English League Two Promotion odds
Best odds 5/4 with Bet365, worst 5/4 with Coral. Betway, Boyle Sports, Unibet and QuinnBet sit alongside Bet365 at the top of the board, while StarSportsBet and Spreadex join Coral a whisker behind, so the Chesterfield odds barely move from one bookmaker to the next.

How big are the odds on Chesterfield to win promotion from the English League Two?
Salford City Fc are the favourites at a best price of 2/7 with Coral, with Chesterfield fourth-shortest at 5/4 with Bet365. Salford earned that short price with a win at Bristol Rovers that extended their winning run in League Two and moved them clear at the top of the table. Barnet and York City sit between the leader and Chesterfield in the betting, but across the wider English League Two odds, Chesterfield are the side with the momentum after that Crewe rout.
Salford City Fc – 2/7 with Coral. Top of the table on the back of six straight League Two wins.
Barnet – 1/2 with Bet365. Second in the betting behind the leaders.
York City – 1/1 with Ladbrokes. Even money and holding steady in third in the market.
Chesterfield – 5/4 with Bet365. In from 7/4 after putting five past Crewe.

Can Chesterfield win promotion from the English League Two?
Paul Cook's side go on the road to Newport next in League Two before hosting Yeovil in the FA Cup, and the main worry is Josh Koroma, who went off injured minutes after opening the scoring against Crewe. Losing a forward just as the goals start flowing would hurt. There is good news elsewhere, though: goalkeeper Zach Hemming is back after a wrist injury, and Tom Naylor led the side as captain on his first start of the season. Salford are still the team everyone has to catch, but if this attack keeps finishing its chances, Chesterfield at 5/4 with Bet365 still look a fair price.
